Chapter 115 clues

The Municipal Administration was originally a Ministry of Revenue Department. After the organization was adjusted, it now belongs to Taifu Temple. The Municipal Administration is somewhat similar to the nature of today's Industrial and Commercial Bureau. It is responsible for registering commerce and maintaining commercial order. In addition, it has a special function, which is to regulate prices. The three-coarse price limit stipulated by Guo Song is managed by the Municipal Administration. Coarse cloth, coarse wheat and coarse salt, sold in specific shops according to the prices stipulated by the government, giving poor families a way out.

In the afternoon, Wu Changsheng, the military officer of the Inner Guard, brought several men to the municipal office. They had the approval of Right Prime Minister Pan Liao and came to check the relevant business registration records.

The Chief Secretary and his subordinates held the top ten thick books of booklets on the table, "The shops in Jingzhao Mansion have all been smashed here. The first five are shops in Chang'an City, and the other five are shops in Jingzhao counties. Please read them slowly!"

Wu Changsheng frowned, "Is there no classification?"

"There are categories, such as shops, restaurants, inns, and these major categories are different."

"I want to find a more detailed one, such as a store selling medicinal materials. Does it have any detailed categories?"

The Secretary of Statement shook his head, "There is no further division under the store, but there will be industries under the East City and West City, such as pharmaceutical companies. The people who buy medicine are basically together. Except for East City and West City, there is no difference in other places. There will be business descriptions and opening hours in the notes."

"Will there be any omissions? The municipal office has not registered business?" Wu Changsheng asked.

"Of course there will be omissions. We will not ascend the throne as there are so many small stalls and vendors in Chang'an. But as long as there are shops, we will ascend the throne, and the shops will close and close. We will also come to us to cancel. After not cancelling, we will have to pay taxes, so we will basically come. The cancelled shops are crossed out with red strokes and horizontal lines. You can read it slowly!"

Wu Changsheng divided the thick ten registration books with his subordinates, and several people began to sit at the table and read them carefully...

In the afternoon, Guo Song, accompanied by Wang Yue, came to Xishi. The market was not affected by Xi'an Gate Outside Street. It is a wholesale center for all kinds of commodities in Chang'an. The business is extremely hot. There are crowds of people on the streets, and there are all kinds of ox carts and mule carts loaded with goods.

They came to the Medicine Store, a street specializing in selling medicinal materials, with more than 30 shops, and the whole street was filled with a strong smell of medicinal materials.

Guo Song left a few houses and felt no clue. He turned around and asked with a smile: "What are you planning to check?"

Wang Yue scratched his head and said, "We believe that as long as Baozhitang retreats to Chang'an, a new store will definitely be opened during that period. We will start by searching for medical-related stores, narrowing the scope first, and then checking them carefully, and it should be possible to find out."

"This method can only be said to be OK, but there are still loopholes. What if they change their careers?"

Wang Yue smiled bitterly, "If you change your career, it will be really hard to find."

"It's actually not difficult!"

Guo Song smiled faintly and said, "Although the shopkeeper and the guy have changed careers, the doctors will not change careers easily. They will join other clinics or pharmacies. Just check the new doctors in the pharmacies of each clinic three years ago, and the accent is almost the same."

"I understand!"

.........

The next morning, Wu Changsheng put a list on Wang Yue's table exhausted. They did not sleep all night last night. Finally, they checked all the registration books and compiled a detailed list of stores.

“So many?”

Wang Yue picked up the list and frowned. There were at least two or three hundred companies. "How did you check it? Maybe there are so many?"

Wu Changsheng shook his head, "There are no pharmacies, pharmacies and clinics established three years ago. Five were established last year, so Bei Zhi and his subordinates simply copied all the pharmacies, pharmacies and clinics, next to them was their establishment time."

"Are you all here?" Wang Yue asked.

Wu Changsheng nodded, "We checked it twice, and there were no omissions, and it was all here."

Wang Yue probably said it was right that King Jin was right, changing careers or joining the original intelligence point, and then the doctors were assigned to various clinics and pharmacies, and they had to start with people to check."

At this moment, Song Tian hurried over, holding a document in his hand, and smiled when he entered the door: "Master Wang, you are lucky, and the interrogation record has been found."

Wang Yue was overjoyed, "I found it so soon?"

"There are more than a dozen boxes in total. We searched for them in the same box and found out that only it has no title written, and it is easy to be ignored."

Wang Yue took the interrogation records and looked carefully. There were 21 people in Baozhitang. The person who was caught was a doctor who came back from going out for medical treatment. All the people from Baozhitang ran away, and Zuo Yintai's spy was ambushed inside. The doctor was caught as soon as he came back.

The doctor explained a lot of things, but most of them were useless to Chang'an. However, there was a list attached to the back, and the names of twenty people who escaped were listed. Some were obviously pseudonyms, but there were also many real names, especially the seven doctors, who should all have real names.

With these two lists, things are easier to handle.

Wang Yue immediately called the supervisors of the three sub-departments and said to them: "The names of seven doctors have been found. You can find someone to check the list of all drug dealers, pharmacies and clinics. You must get them all before dark today."

Wang Yue handed them the list that Wu Changsheng copied overnight, "This is the list of all drug dealers, pharmacies and clinics. Check it according to your own jurisdiction. Let's go now!"

.........

Making a list is the best method for the inner guards. It doesn’t take until the evening. In the afternoon of that day, more than 270 lists appeared on the table of the inner guards’ meeting hall, and more than a dozen officials began to check one by one.

Wang Yue was pacing back and forth in the meeting hall, feeling quite nervous. If he still couldn't find it this time, he would be helpless.

"Finish one!" cried an official.

Wang Yue was overjoyed and hurriedly walked around. The official shouted again: "There is another person with the same name in this pharmacy!"

It may be a coincidence that a drug store has the same name, but it is not a coincidence that two have the same name.

Wang Yue approached and the official handed Wang Yue the list of a drugstore, "I hooked these two people with a red pen."

Wang Yue took the list and looked carefully. One was named Sun Liang and the other was named Wang Fuzhi. These two names were exactly consistent with the names on the doctor's list.

Wang Yue looked at the name of the medicine shop, Baojitang, and actually brought the word "bao". Wang Yue began to be excited.

He looked at the address again, which was located in Xinchangfang, which really scared Wang Yue. The crossbow yard of the military weapon supervisor was located in Xinchangfang.

............

Baojitang has been in Chang'an for five years. Among the many pharmacies in Chang'an, it can only rank in the middle, which is also related to its remote location.

Xinchangfang is close to the east city wall. There is a long temple with a large area of ​​green. Currently, the crossbow yard of the military weapon supervisor is located in Qinglong Temple.

Baoji Hall is directly opposite Qinglong Temple, covering an area of ​​about five acres, selling medicine and sitting in the hall. The head of the city is Lin, a native of Zhangzhou. He claims to have practiced medicine for generations. When it comes to Baoji Hall in Zhangzhou, it is almost everyone knows that Baoji Hall is the Lin family of Baoji Hall is regarded as a living Bodhisattva by the people.

However, Baojitang in Chang'an has nothing to do with Baojitang in Zhangzhou. He just borrowed this name. The owner actually did not believe in Lin. He also pretended to be a child of the Lin family.

Baojitang's true identity is that Yao Guangping, Quanzhou, was planted in Chang'an. After Baozhitang was discovered by Zuo Yintai three years ago, Baozhitang's people received internal information and fled to Chang'an overnight. Yao Guangping immediately sent an order to give up the Chengdu intelligence point and concentrate on collecting Chang'an intelligence.

So Baojitang opened another inn, allowing Baojitang's shopkeeper and staff to run it. As for the seven doctors, two joined Baojitang, and the other five entered major clinics. It would be best to treat officials and obtain information.

The reason why Baojitang was opened in Xinchangfang was mainly to obtain important technical drawings of the Nobufang. Over the past five years, they gradually bribed two officials and obtained some technical drawings, including cannons, or stone generators, which can penetrate the walls of enemy warships.

This kind of ship cannon was built in Quanzhou three years ago and was used by Yao Guangping to deal with pirates. As a result, he showed his power and penetrated more than 30 pirate warships, and wiped out three pirates active in the Penghu Islands in one fell swoop.

But now what Baojitang wants more is firearms, especially Iron Fire Thunder. Unfortunately, the two officials they bribed knew nothing about Iron Fire Thunder, and even didn't know where Iron Fire Thunder was made.
